I really enjoyed making this quilt; not only because I got to use a fabric cutter to cut out all of the triangles but also for the fabric play. It's messy business pulling fabric from stash, auditioning, arranging and re-arranging the fabrics of choice, and then of course changing my mind, but it is definitely one of my favorite parts of quilt making.

And for the back of the quilt I have used another print from Organic Marine by Dan Stiles for Birch. These high quality organic fabrics have truly been a pleasure to work with and combine together as a fun collection of marine prints to make a great little boy (or girl!) quilt.

For binding fabric I have chosen a blue and white pin stripe (by A Day in the Country ~ available locally in a great range of colors from GJ Discount Fabrics). It perfectly matches the other blues used in the quilt and adds the perfect edge/frame to this nautical themed quilt.

Would you be so kind to leave a comment on my BLOG ONLY (no emails) thru the 18th, for the Miracle Makeover fund drive. Charlie, 8 yr. old, & his story are fabulous. Every comment brings us a $1 for the next person that will be sponsored.
